As opposed to this wiki, you need to obtain editing permissions in order to write and edit pages in the main site. Before requesting permissions you should have gained a (good) reputation as a writer in this wiki, the [http://maemo.org/news News] section, [http://internettablettalk.com Internet Tablet Talk]... or anywhere else we can go and check.

In the meantime you can work on any texts using this wiki and contacting the editors in the maemo-community list for proposals, text changes or new pages.

=== Account and permissions ===
When you think it's the time do the following:
# [https://garage.maemo.org/account/register.php Get a maemo account] (aka "garage account") if you don't have it already. Make sure the email address used is @nokia.com.
# [https://maemo.org/profile/edit/ Edit your profile] introducing yourself. Feel free adding more information. Your profile might be linked from the announcements and comments you publish, that's why. An avatar is also recommended.
# [https://garage.maemo.org/project/request.php?group_id=198 Request to join] the [https://garage.maemo.org/projects/webeditors/ webeditors] group.

Done? Now you can start editing.
